Yield · 1 jar (plus a batch of chia jam that keeps 5 days)

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 Tbsp chia seeds
  • 1/2 tsp maple syrup, plus more to serve
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • 1/4 cup whole-milk Greek yogurt (optional — skip it to make this vegan)
  • 2/3 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 2-3 Tbsp strawberry chia jam (recipe below)
  • 1-2 Tbsp natural peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh strawberries
  • 1 small handful raspberries
  • 1 small handful chopped peanuts
  • 1 lb strawberries
  • 1/2 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp maple syrup
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 3 Tbsp chia seeds

Instructions

  1. 1

    The night before, add the oats, chia seeds, maple syrup, salt, and Greek yogurt (if using) to a jar or bowl. Pour in the almond milk and stir well, breaking up any clumps of chia.

  2. 2

    Cover and refrigerate overnight, or up to 5 days. The oats and chia will soften and thicken.

  3. 3

    For the jam, simmer the strawberries in a small saucepan over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, until they break down. Mash with a fork, then stir in the lemon juice, maple syrup, salt, and chia seeds. Let it cool — it thickens as it sits. Store in a jar in the fridge.

  4. 4

    In the morning, give the oats a stir and loosen with a splash more almond milk if you like them thinner.

  5. 5

    Top with the chia jam, a swirl of peanut butter, the fresh strawberries and raspberries, and a scatter of chopped peanuts. Drizzle a little extra maple syrup if you want it sweeter.

Variations & swaps

  • Tart-cherry chia jam (my favorite upgrade)Swap the strawberries for tart cherries in the jam. Tart cherries are especially rich in anthocyanins, the deep-red pigment most studied for easing muscle soreness and joint discomfort — a genuine anti-inflammatory swap.
  • Apple pieSkip the jam and top with a spoonful of unsweetened applesauce and a good shake of cinnamon.
  • Any berry you haveBlueberries, blackberries, or a frozen mix all work — they're all in the same polyphenol family.
  • Make it veganLeave out the Greek yogurt. You'll lose a little creaminess and protein, but the oats and chia still set up beautifully.
  • Make a few at onceBuild three or four jars on Sunday. The base keeps up to 5 days, so most of the week is handled.

I started making these the night I got tired of skipping breakfast

For a long stretch I just didn't eat in the morning. I'd tell myself I'd grab something later, and "later" turned into a coffee and not much else. Fabio noticed before I did — he's like that — and he didn't lecture me. He just said the easiest meal to keep is the one you've already made.

So I started doing overnight oats on Sunday nights. You stir everything into a jar, put it in the fridge, and go to bed. By morning the oats have softened and the chia has done its quiet thing, turning it all thick and creamy. I top mine like a PB&J because that's the flavor I never get tired of — a spoonful of natural peanut butter, a little homemade strawberry chia jam, and a handful of fresh berries.

Fabio taught me to pay attention to what's actually in each spoonful, and it turns out this one's quietly working in your favor. Here's how I make it, and why I keep it on repeat.

Why This Breakfast Fights Inflammation

Here's the short version Fabio would give you. The chia seeds are the quiet workhorse: they're one of the richest plant sources of ALA, a plant omega-3 your body uses to help keep its inflammation signals calm. The strawberries and raspberries bring polyphenols — the colorful plant compounds that give berries their red. Those belong to the same broad family as resveratrol, one of the actives Fabio put in ProleevaMax. (To be clear, berries aren't resveratrol itself — they're cousins in the same polyphenol family.) The deep-red anthocyanins in particular are among the most-studied berry compounds for easing everyday discomfort. And the oats add beta-glucan, a soft fiber that feeds the good bacteria in your gut — and a calm, well-fed gut is part of how the body handles inflammation. Honest caveat: a jar of oats delivers all of this at everyday-food levels — real and worth doing daily, but modest next to the concentrated amounts in the studies.

Getting the Full Dose

Food gives you these compounds in the amounts that fit in a breakfast jar — a genuine daily habit, and a good one. But the levels studied for supporting a healthy inflammatory response sit well above what a bowl of oats and berries provides. That space between "lovely daily ritual" and "the amount the research actually used" is the gap Complete Inflammation Support (Powered by ProleevaMax) was built to close — standardized actives like resveratrol at the studied amounts, in one daily capsule. Eat the oats because you love them and they keep you full. Reach for the formula when you want the studied dose. They're the same idea at two strengths.*

Make it the breakfast you'll actually eat

I'm not going to tell you a jar of oats changes everything. But the easiest healthy habit to keep is the one already waiting for you when you open the fridge. I make a row of these on Sunday; Fabio doctors his with extra peanut butter and skips the jam. Make the version you'll genuinely reach for half-asleep on a Tuesday — that's the one that counts.
